Me too. I always turn the tables and request that he/she bring me more cream when they do that--unless there is ample cream obviously on the table already.

I always thought pouring from the side made more ice come out, not less.

Seriously has anyone in human history really been able to enjoy a piece of prosciutto without it clamming together or getting shredded in the process of taking it out of the package?

Advertisers constantly adding extra clicking to my life should definitely defiantly piss me off.

That I don't understand who is buying so much candy or how they can afford so many TV commercials. Skittles, Twix, Reeses Cups, etc. I realize they are all probably part of the same company, but lots o' commercials for things that cost less than a dollar and as far as I know nobody buys them regularly.

You either don't know enough people or don't work around enough people, I've worked places where vending machines where restocked weekly. And I don't think they've retailed for under a dollar for along time, not individually.

I'm in college campus buildings with 1000's of students and professors and I still don't get it, even if a twix bar only costs a nickel to make and distribute.

Being around people that use the term "unpack" way too much. "There's a lot to unpack in this study." "There's a lot to unpack in this article." Every ****ing time something needs to analyzed. Grrrrr

They have audio for an exploding or a "whoosh" sound.

Um, that's actually not how the universe works. A pseudo-educational show should do better.

I hate to tell you this, but when flowers open in time-lapse photography in nature documentaries - those sound effects aren't real either. Same goes for noises from bugs, crabs, and pretty much anything that doesn't bark or roar.

I mentioned this one before. Ever caught yourself doing it? I have maybe 2-3 times and hate myself for it.

Yeah, but ask already has a noun/verb that is plenty useful. Request. What makes this annoying, not speaking for matrat, is that it is a corporate term that serves no purpose except to be trendy. Cool corporate jargon is less cool than super nerdy computer jargon or comic book jargon or internet jargon. It is the worst of all jargons.

jargon.

Fortunately no, but I do notice myself hating it slightly less everytime I hear it, and that frightens me.

When people load the dishwasher with fork tines up, handles down.

Should this post me off or not?

Do you actually get mad inside at them, or just look down on them?

It should not piss you off, because that is the proper way to get max cleaning. Some of the nicer dishwashers nowadays have trays where the silverware lays flat, which is the way to go.
